"Consider Me Gone" by Reba McEntire (Steve Diamond/Marv Green)

1st Verse

Every time I turn the conversation
To something deeper than the weather
I can feel you all but shuttin' down
And when I need an explanation for the silence
You just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now

Pre Chorus

What you're not sayin'
Is comin' in loud and clear
We're at a crossroads here

Chorus

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this
Then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone

2nd Verse

With you I've always been wide open
Like a window or an ocean
There is nothin' I've ever tried to hide
So when you leave me not knowin'
Where (you're) (we're) goin'
I start thinkin' that we're lookin'
We're lookin' at goodbye

Pre Chorus

How about a strong shot of honesty
Don't you owe that to me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Consider me a mem'ry
Consider me the past
Consider me a smile in an old photograph
Someone who used to make you laugh

Tag Chorus

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
Now I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone
Consider me gone
Consider me gone
Just consider me gone



   "Because Of You" by Reba McEntire featuring Kelly Clarkson (Kelly Clarkson/David Hodges/Ben Moody)

1st Verse

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Chorus

Because of you
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me
But everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

2nd Verse

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I watched you die (I watched you die)
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep (in your sleep)
I was so young (I was too young)
You should have known better
Than to lean on me (to lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain (you never saw me)
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For that same damn thing

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Because of you (oooh)
Oooh
Because of you (oooh)
